Drying Out

We had a wonderful weekend with not-so-wonderful weather. It rained and rained and rained and then rained some more. It was supposed to be our last big summer outing. We were going to go out on the lakes and go boating and jet skiing. But instead the closest we got to a sunburn was the carnival lights of the Douglas County Fair. That's right folks. We went to the county fair. Brian and I went with three of my high school friends to play bingo and we won four times. Brian won twice and one of those times we won together and had to split the cash prize. I wish I had a picture to show the true essence of the nothing-else-like-it feeling you get at a county fair but I don't. Those of you who have been to a county fair know what I mean. And just for the record, if you think because you've been to the State Fair it counts, it doesn't. There's not enough dirt and mud there. Not even close.

Today it still feels like the beginning of April and my allergies are killing me so I'm in a bit of a fog right now what with all the pills I'm popping. It's a great day to catch up on the laundry and start a good book. So I think I'll do just that.
